Hej hej!

Min svenska är inte så bra, därför talar jag engelska :)

I work in Sweden and two of my friends of my home country are coming over to visit. I thought it would be a cool idea to rent a little boat and go to the archipelago for two days (spend the night there). I found a website where I can rent boats from people. I was wondering what the common way to go about this is. Will people rent out to me if I only had some sailing experience from when I was younger? (10+ years ago) Is it common to rent out a boat, throw out an anchor near an uninhabited island and spend the night there?

I get that the first question is highly dependent on who is renting the boat out, yet I'm wondering if anyone here has done something similar. What is your experience? Is my idea possible?

(the boat will not exceed the size for which I need a license)

If you have no recent experience sailing I would definitely advise you not to do the archipelago. Is not easy to navigate since it's full of hidden obstacles. You should buy a good chart (there are 2 or 3 apps that have quite good up to date charts in all Scandinavia).

I would definitely advise you to refresh your skill and then do it otherwise you could easily damage the hull, skeg, and propeller.

Also have in mind that anchoring and mooring in Scandinavia is usually against a rock and not so many guest docks are available.
